Hi Michele,
Howdy there! Dining at Walt Disney World Resort with food allergies is not only possible but also remarkably accommodating, thanks to Disney's commitment to providing magical and safe experiences for all Guests. I’d be happy to help you lasso up some answers!
First, I recommend that you indicate your dairy allergy when making your dining reservations and consider reaching out to the
Special Dietary Requests team at Special.Diets@DisneyWorld.com before your trip. This step allows Disney to prepare in advance and ensure they have options available to meet your needs. However, even if you notify them ahead of time, you are not locked into a specific pre-selected meal.
When you arrive at each dining location, let your server know about your allergy and ask to speak with a chef or an allergy-friendly Cast Member. They'll review the menu with you and discuss which items are safe or can be modified to accommodate your needs. Many restaurants also offer allergy-friendly menus for you to choose from, so you’ll have a variety of delicious options.
As for
Roundup Rodeo BBQ, rest assured that your companions are not limited to the same meal as you. Disney’s allergy accommodations are individualized, so while you can enjoy a safe, dairy-free meal, the rest of your party can order from the regular menu. It’s a win-win for everyone at the table!
I hope you have a rootin’-tootin’ time during your visit! If you have any other questions, don’t hesitate to mosey on back here.
